EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

                                                             ["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

                                                                                      [january 10th 2008]


+       When My children are not able to discern things "clearly", it indicates some form of continued disobedience in their walk.

+       Parents should not be teaching their children to depend upon themselves [to be self-sufficient]! The parents, by their own dependence upon Me for ALL things, should be "living examples" to them, always teaching their children to depend on and trust in Me. Parenting is not a matter of bringing the child to the place wherein they will be able to fend for themselves, by their "own" means and efforts, but rather a bringing of the child [again, through example] to the place wherein Jesus is Lord of all their lives, and the Holy Spirit is given His rightful place in their heart
[Proverbs 22:6].

+       In this last hour, I shall bring the arrogant and prideful ones down to their knees and, indeed, EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
[Philippians 2:9-11]!

+       It is the failure of many to seek the absolute truths [revelation] of My Word that causes them to be caught in a position where Satan might freely deceive them. For if one is not continually seeking the deepest revelations of My Word, they shall surely be found to be seeking for themselves - and for the fulfilment of their own selfish desires.  It is time for all of My children to lay aside all those things that would hinder their receiving of revealed knowledge. For it is in this last hour that many of My own children shall be found to be fighting against Me; and even though "outwardly" they have the "appearance" of godliness inwardly they are devoid of My presence [power] and wisdom. But truly I say to you, My beloved ones, in this hour all shall clearly be able to distinguish between those who are righteous and those who are wicked [unrighteous]; between those who truly serve Me and those who do not serve Me, and again I say to you, it shall not be a wise thing to be found fighting against Almighty God
[Malachi 3:16-4:3]!
